So ive had an 11 pro since launch. great phone. i plan on using it while i stream on a charging stand running stream deck mobile macro pad app. but then i realized its just going to be on for hours showing mostly the same static icons. and its an OLED screen. should i be worried?
 
Probably not. Apple has done a pretty good job with their OLED displays to prevent burn in. It's definitely possible but burn in has not been a complaint about the 2.5 year old iPhone X, so you're probably okay.
 
I would turn down the display brightness if it’s not an issue. Bright static imagery is the worst offender when it comes to burn in.
 
The OLED iPhones that are on display and ON in the Apple Store every day at full brightness develop "image retention"
 
I wouldn't use an OLED iPhone for this. I have a friend who is an iOS developer, at his previous job they had an iPhone X that spend hours a day with a static image displayed. After several months the screen had really strong burn-in.
